How do people let themselves get so fat? (srs)

[Kahldris]

As soon as I started getting a gut I said phuck this and started lifting. Feels good man.

i was watching tlc yesterday, looking at the "stories of the ER". during commercial time, i would see this clip of this 600 lb girl, who they were saying it gets so hard living like that, etc, etc. anyways, i was watching this ER show with my mom and i asked the same damn thing like you OP. i am like, it's fine to be a little overweight, have some extra fat, etc. but how do you get to 600 lbs, without looking in the mirror and saying "wtf is going on?". you'd think once they hit 200 lbs, they'd just stop eating, but nope. they just keep eating thousands upon thousands of calories a day and never working out.

my moms response was; they never not feel hungry. they're always hungry. so they just keep eating. i just don't know where these folks get the money to afford a 15,000 calorie daily diet. i know fast food but still, sometimes they eat food that they make at home. just don't understand it!

[terzcal]

the monthly grocery bill must be enormous

[jstrad]

I was always at least a little over weight as a kid and it just grew into a bigger and bigger problem. When I was a kid I didn't really care, but I started caring more and more until one day I had enough... but at that point I was 400 lbs and I'm still not skinny. Definitly lookin good in a shirt though lol.

[PervedOut]

you can tell right away when someone is serious about losing weight. when they have a visible change of emotion when the topic is broached (sounding humbled)

you can also tell when they are doomed to be a fatty when they get angry about it or brush it off

[Bunpitsu]

Lazy, unmotivated, disgusting ass chumps.

Every time I gain a few pounds, I look in the mirror, looking at the images of my previous progress, then decide I've let myself slide slightly.

Enter beast mode, diet mode, and whipping my ass into shape. Excess weight destroyed in like a week.

Soon as I see a slip-up, I correct it instantly. No 'I'll do it tomorrow' chit, but right then and there.

I know what you mean. I'm still not happy with my body but I'll keep working at it. Even though my body comp is totally better than its ever been i find myself unsatisfied. It will be interesting to see what I feel like when I acheive "ripped" status one day... I wonder if I'll be happy then?

[erftbll81]

Cause carbs taste bomb

[Catabinol]

people who are morbidly obese have eating disorders and are mentally fukked in some manner

I was anorexic from age 14-16, measuring out and counting every single piece of food that went in my mouth (for example I'd record in my journal, "Today I had 1/4 cup of rice crispies with 3 tablespoons of milk, 50cals"). It was just a symptom of deep emotional problems, but food became my obsession, I couldn't think about anything except how many calories I had eaten that day so far, what else I would be able to eat to stay under my calorie limit, and how long it would take me to lose the next pound. At this point I weighed about 100lbs on average. Every now and then I'd just go nuts from hunger and starvation and have a day where I'd eat around 5000 calories, feel nearly suicidal afterward, then start restricting again. For massively fat people it's the same thing, except instead of extreme restrictions of food intake to compensate for emotional problems, they just embrace food and binge like crazy on it. It is a lot like the instant pleasure that you receive from a drug, I suppose.

[dmaaack]

I didn't even realize how fat I had gotten until I stepped on a scale one day. Really weird. I knew I wasn't in shape but when I stepped on the scale and it said 200lbs I was shocked.

[GriPz]

well I got to as high as 235 before at 6'1. My mum was ill and I just ate wotever i wanted and didnt care. Went from 180-235 in about 9months. Then my mum got better and i went from 235 to 186. She got ill again and I went from 186-225 in like 3.5 months. Right now im 205 but now that he illness is gone I will stay on track. Basically when stuff in life is sucking it messes you up. Now that im addicted to lifting and my one of my best mates is an animal. Bench - 130kg for 7, squat 185kg for 9, deadlift 235kg for 5 I think im actually going to pull if off this time. The fact that I study dentistry helps as im more aware about the body then most people I would say.

[lovebbing]

because they are pathetic mentally.

its not even the volume of the food. its their terrible lifestyles. There is such an abundance of convenience technology and office jobs that require constant sitting and barely any manual physical labor, combined with horrible snacks and meals that serve no purpose as fuel for their body.

not to mention their eating patterns are so fuked up, people skip breakfast and starve themselves hoping to lose weight, and then their metabolism shuts down and goes very slow trying to adjust, then they give in and binge and their body isnt ready so it gets stored as fat immediately. They constantly give their bodies junk, and their bodies are like "hey, wtf is this garbage that they are giving me? i dont know what to do with all these ****ty calories" so it gets stored as fat....... their bodies become accustomed to doing that, and it becomes easier and easier for the body to just store excess calories meal by meal.

us bodybuilders could binge all the time and still not get SUPER fat, just because at least some calories would be used for metabolism and muscle tissue synthesizing, but these inactive fat people cant burn off ****.

[pvpaymon]

People are extremely overweight always have something going on mentally.

I eat to relieve anxiety.

me too, but less I think. Still enough to keep me always above 20%, usually 25%...



I agree 100% with it being very mental, I am doing it infact right now.

**** diet

little lifting

stress

I am allowing myself this because... its easier. Sad as ****.

Not to say I wont change around in a months time... I have and always will -_-

[rckrdude]

I start dieting when I can't see a relaxed 4 pack. Blows my mind how obese people still go to McDs after looking at themselves in the mirror.

[fonzietriangle]

Its not too hard to work out. Very overweight people don't have the same mindset as us. Maybe we are vein, have more respect for our bodies, or want to impress people. Overweight people definitely have mental issues regarding food. There have been studies that show kids who were underfed tend to overeat as adults. Its like they're over compensating. Others just make very bad food choices, all that processed food might taste good but won't satiate you, hence they consume more & more. The weight then goes up a few pounds at a time until, BAM, they are 20 stone and even more depressed. Its a vicious circle. You've also got to look at portion control, food is so readily available now, people are just greedier. It only seems to be getting worse.

why you *******s still used stone? Get on the lb/kg train like the reset of the world. BRB using a measuring system from 1000s of years ago, where a unit was literally a fuking stone. Grow up, racism only hurts.

[cracktheskye]

it creeps up on you and its a vicious circle. you see yourself getting fatter and more depressed and socially/sexually outcast and you think, why should i bother starving myself? it won't make a difference I'll still be fat. you get bigger and bigger and controlling it gets harder and harder until you force yourself out of the habit. Its easy to become fat. you feel sluggish and sweating and ****ty all day and can't be bothered to do anything at all. at my fattest I was actually with my girlfriend and we would just sit there all night eating and watching films and **** for months on end and I didn't see any need to change. I deluded myself that I could never have a good body and that it didn't even matter, and that theres more to life than being fit but thats not the correct mindset to have and I eventually realised I needed to break out of it. For me that moment came when I was struggling to fit into 38" waist jeans which is the biggest size in most highstreet/designer brands and I was constantly sweating with a muffin top and my belly hanging out, I had an acne breakout and generally felt/looked awful. I wasn't even that fat either haha, at my peak I was like 30% body fat at 310lb, which isn't really THAT bad considering I'm over 6'6, so **** knows how extremely fat brahs feel, I wasn't documentary fat.

Fatties just need to snap out of it on their own accord, I could have easily became massive as fuark. you stop caring and lose sight of what you are capable of in all areas of your life. I was 18 and had given up on ever shagging a 9/10 or having a ballin' job and was quite contempt to piss about at uni and eat loads of food and live a small, depressing life.

[fonzietriangle]

How do people let themselves get so fat?

They don't. The obese are not people. I am not the same species as someone who looks in the mirror at their disgusting blob of a self and still decides to eat.

With fat people, I would wager the process going on is actually a chemical one, and I can kind of relate, being a former occasional problem drinker. When I used to binge drink, although not often, it would start off with one drink, but unlike everyone else, I felt a process going on inside of me where one just led to another, and another and another. Each drink fed the need for the next. I think this is the same with fat people. They sit down eat one piece of pizza, which leads to another, and another, etc, like the drink can.

Main difference is I was not confronted with booze on a daily basis, so cutting it out completely really wasnt tough.(skip the bars on the weekends, or when around booze now, just have a diet coke or whatever) However an obese person with an eating disorder has to eat everyday, so in my opinion, it really would be a bitch. Also with my alchol problem I found replacements, all exercise related. Lifting hard, or going for a run even produce the same chemical in the brain, and the same feeling of well being. Obv an obese person is not going to attain this, so really they are fuked from the get go sometimes.

[bobbydrake1]

When i was 15, i got fat cause of depression, lost the weight though.

[Lewisfan]

Former fat fuark checking in (still work in progress)

Brb used to snack in chocolate bars and fizzy drinks.
Brb old workplace was near, mcds, burger king, subway, kebab shop etc

Crap food is cheap and is much quicker to buy than cooking food. So it's pretty much laziness.

Well I've lost over 50 pounds since I was that fat Kunt. I'm still fat but look much better and eat much healthier.

When I think back to the time I was a fat fuark the scary thing was I didn't really realise I was that big until i stepped back and properly evaluated it.

Anyway fuk that Kunt, this year it's about working on my body so that I can be happy when taking my shirts off when at the Vegas pool parties later this year!

[max1122]

i think once they go past a certain point, they are afraid to step on the scale / look at themselves (mental / hormonal problems or not) in the mirror. Constantly being in denial becomes second nature and they just keep eating overboard.

[voxel]

I used to be a 280 lb Snorlax at about 350% body fat.
No mental issues. In my case, it was just a combination of extreme laziness and fast food late at night.

Dropped down to 175 lb in a year and started gaining fibras from that point.
To this day I can't believe that I let myself go that badly and didn't do something about it sooner.

[icecold9487]

alot just don't give a phuck. i kinda admire them for it.

[swagbrah00]

Because food is amazing and exercise and going to the gym is boring.

[SpookyBot]

I got to 230 at one point and both my wife and my dad tried to tell me I was looking too fat, but I just didn't see it. Not until I saw a picture of myself in a profile. THE NEXT DAY, I started on my weight loss plan and got down to 175, at which point my wife and dad were worried I was getting too skinny .. lol.

[vifferlv]

Internal starvation. It goes beyond my knowledge of biology (insulin and leptin resistance, etc.) for a thorough understanding, but it explain how obese people are always hungry yet nutritional starved.

Stat watching around 1:10:00.
